Dreamy
처음으로 구름 위에
첫 학교 가는 날, 주니퍼는 정문에 섰네, 하늘은 넓고, 뭐가 기다릴까 궁금했지. 수달 광대 오토가 부드러운 공 셋을 휙 던졌어, 풀밭 쪽으로 내려왔다 다시 하늘로 둥실. 주니퍼는 웃고 무릎은 가벼워졌어, “나도 날아 구름을 보고 싶어!”
유리 물그릇에 친구 놀래기 렌이 왔어, 맑은 물 찰랑, 작은 물결 살랑살랑. 주니퍼는 풍선 바구니에 천천히 올라, 렌의 그릇은 아래 폭신한 고리에 앉았네. 버너가 후우, 줄이 팽팽해지고, 아침 햇살 속 둥실둥실 떠올랐지.
구름을 뚫고, 파란 하늘 속으로, 주니퍼는 바구니 테를 꼭 잡고 렌도 바라봤어. 아래 언덕은 작아지고 들판은 넓게 펼쳐져, 구름은 사방에 부드러운 하얀 바다. “구름 위야, 나 여기 있어!” 주니퍼가 외쳤지, 렌은 그릇 안에서 꼬리를 살랑, 나란히 떠갔어.
구름 학교에 풍선이 사뿐 내려왔어, 마을 위 폭신한 구름 현관에. 종이 조용히 땡, 새 하루가 시작됐지, 따뜻한 아침 햇살 아래 나란히 앉아. 렌은 이리저리 꼬리를 흔들고, 주니퍼는 구름의 부드러운 빛에 미소 지었어.

Line Leader for a Whole Day

Everything Depends on Nia Now
At dawn, Nia the betta fish woke in her pond. The reeds whispered, swish, swish. The water was still. The little garden below the hill was thirsty. Corven the crow came to the pond. He was the town architect. He made plans for paths, pools, and tiny bridges. Moss the box turtle came too. He carried
Raindrops from the Sky
In the sea, tuna Ton swims smooth and slow, Swish, swish, swish, where the cool waves go. From up above come drops of rain, Plip, plop, tapping the sea again. Round little rings spread wide and round, Ton listens softly to the sound. On the shore, deer Ema and cow Mouka stand, Beside the sea on shin
Petal Counting in the Garden
Willa loved the garden. She loved the soft soil, the buzzing bees, and the little splish of the fountain. Most of all, she loved painting. Her watercolour paper waited on a small easel. Her brush waited too. Tap, tap, tap. Beside Willa sat Caper, her chameleon friend. Caper was curious. He looked th
The Quiet Whisper and the Loud Shout
At dawn, in a quiet room, Bayani heard, “Hush, hush!” A tiny sound beside the door: a soft and secret brush. “Is that you, Siko?” Bayani asked. “Come share the air.” Siko whispered, “Here I am.

Splish Splash or Dusty Patch
Swan woke with a wiggle and a giggle. The morning was fresh. The pond went, “Splish! Splash!” Swan stepped in. Step, splash, step! Water tickled the feet. Water kissed the wings. Water ran down the long neck. Swan shook once. Shake, shake, shake! Drops flew like tiny bells. “Wet!” said Swan. “I am w
